Artex removal for Teasley Mead properties
According to HSE, textured coating work is normally non-licensed. Bigger jobs using steam or gel must be notified before they start. From loft conversions and walls before a kitchen or bathroom refit, we cover Artex ceilings, textured walls and stipple finishes.
Village homes like those in Teasley Mead have often been altered several times, so coatings may date from earlier work. Our quotes are written and say what’s included, so there are no surprises.

What we deal with in Teasley Mead
Older coatings are often painted over many times, which can make them look newer than they are.
Buildings from before 2000 can hide asbestos in many places. Common situations include:
- Coatings damaged by DIY
- Textured walls before a refit
- Structural work through coated ceilings
- Coatings damaged by leaks
If you are refurbishing a rental near Ashurst Kent station, textured ceilings can be tested between tenancies.

Responsibilities for owners
Landlords of single homes do not have the same duty to manage as non-domestic duty holders, but anyone working on the property still needs to know about asbestos.
Duty holders for workplaces and the shared parts of flats in Teasley Mead must manage asbestos under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012. In practice: find it, assess it, record it and manage it.

Teasley Mead: your questions answered
Do you cover Teasley Mead and the area around Ashurst Kent station?
Yes, we cover Teasley Mead and the area towards Ashurst Kent station, about 0.6 miles south-east.
Do you come out to small villages like Teasley Mead?
We do: small villages are covered too. Just tell us how to reach the property.
Can you help with a shop or office?
Yes. Tell us the size and use of the building and what you need.
Do I need a test or a survey?
A test answers the question for the materials sampled; a survey looks at everything in scope, including things you hadn’t spotted.
Does all Artex contain asbestos?
Not necessarily: many coatings are asbestos-free. Testing a sample is how you find out.
Can you help with a flat?
Yes. For shared areas, the managing agent or freeholder holds the asbestos information.
Is Artex removal licensed work?
HSE’s code of practice says it will not normally be licensable. Larger-scale removal using steam or gel is notifiable non-licensed work.
Should I check for asbestos before buying?
Yes, a pre-purchase survey can help, as long as the seller agrees.
Looking after things afterwards
We clean the room and dispose of the waste legally, and you get the paperwork.
Looking after any asbestos that remains:
- Line up the plasterer for afterwards
- Empty the rooms in advance
- Tell us which rooms and roughly how big they are
- Keep pets away
What to avoid
Do not drill or cut into textured ceilings until you know what they contain.

Doing it yourself?
Asbestos waste can’t go in household bins, recycling or skips. It has to go to a site that accepts it, and some councils accept small amounts from residents by arrangement.
HSE’s advice to the public is not to try to repair or remove asbestos yourself. Higher-risk materials such as lagging, sprayed coatings and most insulating board must only be dealt with by an HSE-licensed contractor.
- Identify it first: we test or survey before planning removal
- Work planned to the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012 and HSE guidance
- Paperwork for your records: reports, lab results and consignment notes
- Waste sealed and labelled, then taken to a permitted site
